    Default Constructors: Can Anyone Explain Them to Me?

    I just started getting into java programming, so I'm a really new beginner. I've been mainly following thenewboston's series on youtube from 2009 . I just came across this episode on multiple constructors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS7BzkBzn3Y&list=PLFE2CE09D83EE3E28 and I have no clue what he is talking about for the whole episode.
    So, getting to the point, can anyone please explain what constructors are, how they work, when they are used, and what they are used for, and anything else that would contribute to bettering my understanding of the topic. Or just like an easy to understand example or explaining what the code that the guy in the video wrote means.

    Thanks,
    Evan

    Default Re: Constructors: Can Anyone Explain Them to Me?

    * Constructor is a special type of method
    * It is used to Initialize the State of the Object
    * Constructor Does not have any return type

    Rules:
    >> Constructor name must Same as it's Class name
    >> Constructor must have no return type..

    Types:
    >>> Default Constructor
    >>> Parameterized Consructor.

    I hope It is HelpFull............

    Write code that uses constructors, and you'll understand them. Reading about them or watching videos about them will not help (much).

    Constructors are mainly used to create new objects, and they are one of the most important things in OOP(Object oriented programming). So make sure you read about them a lot.
